The Bucks have been eliminated from the NBA Playoffs, but Patrick Beverley doesn’t seem happy about it.
With 2 minutes and 32 seconds remaining in the Bucks’ 120-98 loss to the Pacers in the season-ending Game 6, Thanasis Antetokounmpo was substituted for Brook Lopez, and amidst the substitutions, Beverley was in the crowd. Twice he threw a basketball at a Pacers fan and it hit him. At least one in my head.
As Lopez was high-fiving his teammates, Beverley was seen throwing the ball to a fan for the first time, hitting him in the side of the head.
He then asked another fan to give him the ball back, and when Beverley picked it up, he threw it back to the Indiana fan.
It’s unclear if anything led to this moment, but it was a strange scene as the Bucks’ first-round series ended with a blowout loss.
Beverley was asked about this after the game, but he didn’t delve into it.
“No, don’t worry about that. There’s nothing,” he told reporters.
Beverly, who is also the host of “The Pat Bev Podcast with Lawn,” said in an exchange with ESPN’s Malinda Adams that she was unable to do an interview because she did not subscribe to the show.
“Did you subscribe to my pod?” he asked.
“Subscribe or no,” Adams said.
“Then you can’t interview me. No disrespect,” Beverly said.
It was a particularly frustrating game for Beverley, who finished 0-of-3 on 3-pointers and just six points on 3-of-11 shooting in 40 minutes.
